FridayBurglars…6:10 amA 20/m reports someone forcing their way through the front door of his home in the 900 block of N. Belmont and taking property belonging to him and someone else. Police took two people into custody at the scene, one of them was carrying a stolen handgun. That person was arrested for burglary.

Yelling…9:16 amA 22/f, who is pregnant, says she was walking on S. Broadway between English and Waterman headed toward the McDonalds when someone drove up and started yelling at her. There’s nothing in the report about what he said, but the report is listed as a suspicious character.

Abduction…9:46 amA 21/f says a man she doesn’t know got into her car with a gun and forced her to drive to various places around town. There were no threats, she wasn’t robbed and there are no witnesses.

A/C & dish…9:54 amA 77/m says someone stole an AC condenser and a satellite dish from a vacant house he owns in the 2600 block of N. Estelle. He says the wires were cut to the condenser. He says two men he doesn’t know approached him about the satellite dish, which was on the porch at the time. He isn’t sure if they’re the ones who took it.

Giveth and taketh away...12:30 pmAn 18/f says she sold some items online and confirmed the money for the transactions was in her account before she shipped the stuff. Once the items were shipped, she found out the money was no longer in her account. The bank told her to file a police report.

Shoplifters…6:53 pmA 21/f reports three people coming to a store in the 4600 block of W. Kellogg, even though they were told last week not to come back. She believes one of them had a firearm.

Probably should have kept those…6:27 pmA 32/f reports an unknown customer trying to pay for stuff with two counterfeit bills at a store in the 4600 block of W. Kellogg. She refused to take the bills, so he paid with another form of payment and left with the counterfeit bills.
